But Im going to say hello anyways, im currently 19 weeks pregnant and have decided adoption is whats best for me, my daughter, and tummy baby. I have talked to agencies, councelors, and now I want to talk to adoptive parents about adoption, about how it feels on your side of the equation!

    Hi Hannah, welcome.  I am an adoptive mom and would like to personally thank you for making such an un-selfish decision to place your baby for adoption.  It's a wonderful thing you are doing.  It takes a very strong and loving person to make this decision.  I can tell you that I love my little one more than my own life and would do anything for him.  I can't imagine my life without him.  He had made my life worth living and we are so thankful to have him in our lives.  He is truly a blessing. feel free to post here often, the ladies are great and have awesome advice and support.  Best wishes.

    I can say this is definetly not a decision that came easy at all, but as a mother you want the best for your child it came to the point with me where I realized no matter how much I tried and cried, and thought of ways around it Im not whats best for my baby, That doesnt mean I dont love my baby or am "taking the easy way out" Sometimes I think saying you cant parent is actually harder than parenting.... Just my opinion

    Hannah, it sounds like you've spent a lot of time thinking about things and have made a mature decision.  I also think it's great that you've had some counseling... I think that's such an important part of making such a huge decision.  

    You are definitely not taking the easy way out.

    I think one of the biggest things right now, that im dealing with is finding an agency. Yeah I understad that there are alot of places in MA where I am but I ALWAYS find soemthing wrong, it could be something so small as the person on the phone forgetting my name twice in the time we are talking, Im paranoid I know i get it but wouldnt you be if you pretty much were going to be forever connected to the place that you choose? Do I go the lawyer route? But the how do I find adoptive parents, its just so much to think about on top of the regular pregnancy stress and parenting the daughter I already have... I cry alot lately, but yet at the same time ive never been happier in a desision!
